oh my.. that will surely make a difference to the 2.3 million people held captive by the Israeli state
Don't pretend like Hamas are the good guys.
They resist ethnic cleansing by raping and torturing hundreds of people, even children?
Hamas have only been in power since 2008. Don't act like it's all their fault.
Why can't people just look this stuff up. Hamas is not Palestine. They are a militant group created by the UAE and possibly Russia to further their own goals in the region and world. The people of Palestine, actual Palestinians, are victims of both Hamas and Israel and the world needs to stop blaming them for this.
Well, Hamas was voted strongest party in 2006 or 2008 (can't remember exactly) with ~45% votes.
When more than half of the population of the Gaza strip are children and the elderly, any voting is just not legitimate. It's like saying China runs fair elections.
Most likely yeah. But I couldn't find any newer approval ratings.
